Maybe worth a kayak trip at low water to see if it is still there?Mark Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657457474691061380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095981704613604972.post-20822654262207998072012-12-02T13:53:48.700-08:002012-12-02T13:53:48.700-08:00My thanks to Mark Stubbings and Simon O'hea an...My thanks to Mark Stubbings and Simon O'hea and the patrol crews for looking for the rudder blade which was just poking out of the water before it sank. Thanks also for the tow home Mark. Amazingly Dave Acres turned around, came back to look for the rudder and seemed quite prepared to abandon his race to search for our blade. A true sportsman.<br />Interestingly we got over the shallows on the last leg unscathed and were back in the main channel when the lower pintal decide to shear (I think). A new rudder assembly is £550 plus postage! Just finished filling in the insurance claim which makes interesting reading.<br />Thanks for a really enjoyable race. It sounds like the finish was 'a bit tense'. Martin Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159555815261052908noreply@blogger.com
